OPEN CALL FOR ETHERMA: PERFORMANCE MATERIAL NEEDED.
DEADLINE DATE AUGUST 9 2025
LOCATION ST JOHN, NEW BRUNSWICK
SOURCE LAURA PAOLINI

Laura Paolini is presenting a new work called 'While Supplies Last' as part of the THIRD SHIFT Festival in St. John, New Brunswick. "I intend to set up an office-like scenario with a table or desk. I will feed crushed eggshells through a laminator, ensuring that the eggshell pattern is visible on both sides. In addition, I will add pieces of paper(cue cards, cut-out letters, leftover dates from birth control pill packs), unravelling threads from my clothing, and my hair to feed through the machine. My performative gesture will result in a 9x14cm lamination, a conceptual time card, and viewers/participants can take the resulting object home."

Paolini is seeking the following supplies from the community: old agendas/daytimers, the stickers from birth control pills and old file folders. They will be shredded or cut for use in this work. Unfortunately, shipping can't be compensated , so please use lettermail and a stamp. Local pickup in Ottawa can be arranged!
